Pancreatic Cancer - No signs of spread, Whipple Candidate
Pancreatic Cancer | Last Active: Oct 28, 2022 | Replies (33)Comment receiving replies
I am hoping and praying that my treatment will be effective so that I can have the distal pancreatectomy.
I was diagnosed in March 2022( a week after my 51st birthday) with stage IV PC (metastasized to my liver - 2 small lesions)
Folfirinox did not work for me at all. When I started with chemo I had 1 lesion on my liver, after the Folfirinox, there were 2 and the tumor was bigger
It is my 3rd month on Gem/Abraxane, my C19 count was 3597 when I started and is currently on 357. Starting again with my sessions on the 6th of Oct, then 13th and 20th. Then we will scan. Liver function test is also coming down nicely, so I am PRAYING that by the end of the year I will be considered for the operation
All of the best to all of you, stay positive and keep on believing!

@helenar, I am sending you hugs and prayers that this is all working for you and you will be considered for the operation. Liver function test coming down and the decrease in CA 19 count sounds great. My husband starts chemo on Wednesday and praying for good news that his CA19 count starts to come down. All the best to you as well. Stay strong and positive and keep on believing.
